Special-needs restraint called means to safety

American Association of School Administrators releases a report on the School Restraints.

AASA states, "Schools Use Restraint Responsibly". 
Read the complete  AASA Study on Restraints and Seclusion report, entitled, "Keeping Schools Safe:  How Seclusion and Restraint Protect Students and School Personnel" .  Authored by AASA Government Affairs Manager Sasha Pudelski, this AASA "study documents the importance of preserving school districts ability to use seclusion and restraint techniques..." 'Furthermore, the AASA press release cites,  'Parents Cites Benefits of Appropriate Interventions' for all Students, including those with Special Needs and children who are receiving Special Education Services.

"These techniques enables schools to educate students with severe behavioral difficulties in the least restrictive environment possible", states AASA Executive Director Dan Domenech. 

"AASA believes that federal legislation such as the proposed Keeping All Students Safe Act (S.2020) would undermine the ability of school personnel to effectively manage students with severe behavioral disorders, concludes Domenech."
